As best I can, I try to include what matters to me (and others, I hope) in this daily blog.

What matters to you in my images for today?

The Daily Bitch is very clear about what matters to her.

Here’s the wonderful TED talk I find when I search for “what matters” on YouTube:

What matters to me, here and now, is expressing my gratitude to YOU.

Day 4688: Favorite memories

My memory tells me that studies indicate that we are constantly changing our memories when we access them but I still enjoy many favorite memories.

I’ve spent almost a dozen years sharing favorite memories here every day so why not share some more today?

.

One of my favorite memories is performing my original songs at the Lilypad on June 1, 2024.

Day 4301: What are you looking for?

Last night, while I was looking for the Northern Lights, good news, and some peace of mind, I asked this question on Twitter.

.

What are you looking for? I’m always looking for images worth looking at in this blog.

The Daily Bitch is apparently looking for more confidence.

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I’m looking for “what are you looking for?”

.

Thanks to all who help me find (at least temporarily) what I’m looking for, including YOU.

Day 3961: Be your own healer

Yesterday, when I was at an acupuncture appointment, trying to heal two ongoing issues (a clicking jaw and a swollen ankle), I noticed this “Be your own healer” sign:

.

Although we often rely on other healers, why not be your own healer, too? These days, we could use all the healers we can get.

Try to be your own healer as you go through my other images for the day.

.

Daily Bitch, maybe you should be your own healer.

Here’s what I find when I search for “be your own healer” on YouTube:

.

Thanks to all who are healing as best they can, including YOU!

Day 3934: Stay in the moment

No matter what’s going on, my prescription for others and for myself is often “stay in the moment.” That may sound odd when the current moment is very painful, but I still recommend it. Otherwise, we can project into the future with worry and fear or mind-travel into the past with second-guessing and regret, instead of committing to the opportunities and possible gifts of the present moment.

Here’s my latest song, “Stay in the Moment.”

.

Try to stay in the moment as you look at my images for today.

.

I don’t want to make a scene, but what helps you stay in the moment and why is that so difficult?

Thanks to all who help me stay in the moment, including YOU.

Day 3928: Trouble

Here and now, I’m having trouble

  • deciding whether to do an in-person open mic this Friday,
  • singing and speaking because of my clicking jaw,
  • getting around because of a swollen ankle, and
  • changing the batteries for this magic wand, which I use in individual and group therapy.

.

Let’s see what trouble we might find in my other images for today.

I’m not going to have any trouble celebrating World Pet’s Day …

… but I’m skipping the kale on National Kale Day, because that causes trouble with my prescription of Coumadin.

.

Here’s what I find when I go looking for “trouble” on YouTube:

.

Thanks to all who took the trouble to read this lost, including YOU!
